The first Khutbah (Sermon):
Praise be to Allah! O Allah, lead us out of the depths of darkness and illusion unto the lights of knowledge, and from the muddy shallows of lusts unto the heavens of Your Proximity. And I testify that there is no god but Allah Alone, and that He has no partners. And I testify that Sayyidina Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is the Messenger of Allah, and is the best Prophet to be chosen and sent to the world. O Allah, our Lord! Grant peace and blessings to Sayyidina Muhammad, to his Family and his Companions, the trustees upon his message and leaders of his armies, and be pleased with them and us O Lord of the worlds.
Triumph is mainly based on seeking Allah's protection:
Dear brother, O Gaza's people, O you who are considered people of dignity, people of patience and people of forbearing, seek Allah's protection, for it is reported in Al Qudsi Hadith:
((I will grant a way out to every slave of Mine who seeks wholeheartedly My protection only and refrains from seeking that protection from any of my creations against plotting of whosoever in the heavens, and I will hinder all ways out from every salve who seeks wholeheartedly the protection of one of my creations instead of seeking that protection from Me)).
This is exactly what is going on by Allah's decree.
People of Gaza, seek Allah's protection, for He is the source of richness for every wretched, the source of dignity for every humiliated and the source of help for every grieved. So far be it from Allah to impoverish the wretched who seeks His Help, to misguide the heedless who asks for His Guidance, to humiliate whoever resorts to His Glory or to aggrieve whoever yearns for His Might.
Piety is the best weapon and the most powerful stratagem in war:
Dear brother, dear fighters, one might be so great that he sees everything little and easy even though we might not
see his greatness, and he might be so trivial that he sees the smallest things great even though we might not see how trivial he is.((O people, this worldly life is a place of crookedness and is not a place of straightforwardness. It is a place of grief and is not a place of joy. Whoever recognizes this will not feel joy at [the achievement of] some hope or feel grief at wretchedness. Allah has meant for the worldly life to be a place for trial, and has meant for the Hereafter to be a place for ramification. Hence, He has made the adversity of worldly life a reason for the reward in the Hereafter’s reward. He has made the reward of the Hereafter a compensation for the adversity of the worldly life. He takes to give and afflicts to reward.))
((The most in their suffering among the people are the prophets, then the best, then the (next) best.)).
Every person is tested (By Allah) according to his religious status.
There is no goodness in asleep counties,
While the eyes of Gaza are sleepless out of pain
O Gaza of heroes be patient
For the dawn is about to break
I liken your endurance to a displayed masterpiece
In the horizon setting a path for followers
***
People of Gaza and people of faith and obedience, you have carried out the will of our Master Umar Ibn Al Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, when he said to Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him: "I order you and the soldiers with you to fear Allah the Almighty, for piety is the best preparedness against the enemies and the most powerful stratagem in war. I also order you and those who are with you to watch out from sins, for they are more harmful to you than your enemy. Verily, your triumph is achieved through your enemy's wrongdoings, so if you and them become equal in sinning, they will excel you in might." This is exactly what happened; the forth strongest army in strength in the world, which defeated the armies of seven countries altogether, was faced by a small group of believers in Allah the Almighty (or as we assume so, for Allah only knows). This army is the most powerful in the region, and it was described by a man from Brazil, which is a very far country from the Middle East, saying: "How coward this army is! They kill children and women."
The truth can never be multiple:
Dear brother, there will never be a battle between two truths, because the truth can never be multiple, and the battle between the truth and falsehood never lasts, because Allah is with the truth, but the battle between two falsehoods never ends.
O people of Gaza, teach us
Some of what you have, for we forgot what we learned
We are now the people of calculations, addition and subtraction
So fight your war by your own and leave us alone
We stayed in our houses
And asked you to fight the dragon
We are belittled for a thousand centuries in front of you
And you exalted through your war for centuries ahead of us
This Jewish era is nothing but delusion
And will collapse if we just truly believe
***
Knowing Allah is the essence of Islam and trusting Him is the price for Paradise:
Dear beloved brother, dear fighters, dear resisters and dear unshaken brother, when we are unable to comprehend
what is going on and cannot find an explanation to the events which are taking place, we should give in to the Most Exalted and the Omnipotent. Knowing Allah is the essence of Islam, and thinking good of Him is the price for Paradise. Notable scholars said: "It is out of narrow-mindedness to assume that there is no connection between Allah's kindness and His decree. Allah may give you blessings through which He deprives you of something, and He may deprive you of something only to grant you the bounty which is implied in this deprivation. You may feel deprived if people refuse to give you what you want, but Allah's deprivation is means of benefaction to you. Whenever you are blessed with the ability to comprehend the wisdom behind Allah's deprivation, you will realize that this in itself is bestowing. The reason behind being hurt by the deprivation is the lack of understanding the Divine decree in hindering. When you are left alone and all people from east and west, Arabs and Muslims abandon you, Allah opens to you the door to become closer to Him and feel His intimacy. The sweetness you feel and which comes out of afflictions may not be felt even while performing acts of worship, such as Sawm and Salah." When the land of people is occupied, its resources are despoiled, its honor is transgressed, its holy places are violated, its dignity is crushed, its will is smashed, its Creed is corrupted, its values are void of their essence and its history is forged, when the people are pushed to corrupt and spread corruption and when all kinds of ignorance, starvation, torture and killing are practiced against them by their enemies; the enemies of Allah, the enemies of the truth, the enemies of goodness, the enemies of childhood, the enemies of women and the enemies of life, the people should do something to regain its right to live a free and dignified life. This is exactly what happened in Gaza.
All nations should stop those who lack human values:
We are facing an enemy conscience is dead, and so are all humane values and international norms. They crushed human rights under their feet; they consider the owners of the land, who have become homeless and deportee, terrorists, they deprived them of their rights and they consider those who hold on to their religion fundamentalists, whereas the thief who took by force the holy places is considered a "respectful owner". They have become the owner of the land not by law, but by committing massacres and causing psychological destruction. Their false vision stemmed from the statement of one of their criminals who has been in coma between life and death for four years (Sharon whom I wish will live longer in this state). He said: "He who killed half million Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki used two beautiful bombs- they are beautiful according to him and the whole world may hate me and fear me which is better for me than complaining to it. Also the world may be frightened by my insane strikes instead of admiring my beautiful soul. Let it be; let the world dreads me, let it treats my country as a country of insane people, let it calls us savages, let it accuses us of being a death threat to our neighbors and let it considers us a bunch of wild individuals who are capable of causing a direful crisis if one child of us is killed."
The vile switches from worshipping Allah to worshipping his lusts:
When man becomes ignoble, he turns away from worshipping His Lord to worshipping his lusts. Consequently, his relation to sh3er become based on using power instead of mercy and violence instead of understanding. Also, he moves from looking after his soul to looking after his body, from being concerned about principles to being concerned about personal interests. As a result, the whole society will turn into a jungle where individuals claim the right to prey upon sh3er who might become their targets and preys. This is the society where the law of jungle is implemented, and this is the situation of the new global system. It is globalization, or I may call it animalization
(people are turned into animals, and so the law of jungle is prevailed). Let me now address those who are physically strong, and those who occupy senior positions and ranks: isn't it a shame and a mark of disgrace in your manhood to see all these women and children slaughtered before the eyes and within earshot of the entire world without taking an action against it:
Killing a man in a town is a forgivable crime,
while killing a Muslim people is a controversial matter
This is the logic of the western countries. Nevertheless, the fire of the blazing war these days enlightened the darkness of hearts, and the spilled blood of the Palestinian people cleared the blurred vision, so that both the truth and the falsehood are crystal clear. The Prophet, may Allah have peace and blessings upon him, said:
((Temptations will be presented to men's hearts as reed mat is woven stick by stick and any heart which is impregnated by them will have a black mark put into it, but any heart which rejects them will have a white mark put in it. The result is that there will become two types of hearts: one white like a white stone which will not be harmed by any turmoil or temptation, so long as the heavens and the earth endure; and the other black and dust-colored like a vessel which is upset, not recognizing what is good or rejecting what is abominable, but being impregnated with passion.))
Those criminals, tyrants and their allies countries made the truth gray to mislead people, but he current events have made things clear; there is no gray color of truth left on earth, so that those who are to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) should be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who are to live (i.e. believers) should live after a clear evidence.
Keeping silent towards crimes entails being called to account by Allah:
Dear brother, it took only one person to kill the she-camel of Saleh, but why did Allah say:
(( But they killed her ))
The third person plural pronoun is used:
(( He said: "Here is a she-camel; it has a right to drink (water), and you have a right to drink (water) (each) on a day, known. "And touch her not with harm, lest the torment of a Great Day seize you." But they killed her, and then they became regretful. So the torment overtook them. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers. ))
Allah says, 'They killed her' to indicate that the entire group of people was silent towards this crime. According to this concept, it is reported that Umar Ibn Al Khattab ordered the killing of an entire village if one of its people committed a homicide, because they all plotted for the crime which made them partners in committing it. Whoever keeps silent in east and west towards all the crimes which are committed, Allah will call him to account for his silence, because by his silence he participates in these crimes. The following verses describe the situation of both the western and the Arab worlds:
My brother (in Allah's sake) say something
For you are strangling me by the rope of your silence
Your indifference towards me because of cowardice and lack of strength does not kill me
since I have the Lord by my side, and He
will grant me victory and providence
***
Standards of manhood in the western world are phony and useless:
Dear brother, since the Prime Minister of the Zionist Entity was granted the Noble Prize, one should feel ashamed of the manhood's standards in the western culture:((Every soul will be resurrected according to its love. So, whoever loved kufr (Atheism) will be with the disbelievers, and his good deeds will not benefit him at all.))
This prize was given to the most aggressive criminal in the Zionist Entity who slaughtered innocent people in Qana and who is the Prime Minister of this Entity. Thus, this prize should be crushed under feet.
Religious texts for every combatant and fighter:
Dear brother, I would like to address the brave fighters and congratulate them upon their primary triumph; the forth army in the world has been incapable of defeating one target for fourteen days. Allah says:
(( And (as for) the believers it was incumbent upon Us to help (them). ))
Let me refer to some As7adeth to be dedicated to my fellow fighters, combatants, resisters, positioned militants and the unshaken ones:
((In the battle of Badr Awf Ibn Afra'a Ibn Al Harith asked the Prophet, may Allah have peace and blessings upon him, "O Messenger of Allah, what is that maketh the Lord laugh with joy at His slave?" At once came the answer: "When he plungeth without a shield into the midst of the foe"; and Awf began to strip off the coat of mail he was wearing, and he fought till he died as a martyr (may Allah be pleased with him).))
((I have heard a man once asking Al-Bara'a Bin Azeb "If one man fights a thousand enemies, then he is killed, is he one of those whom Allah says about: "and do not cast yourselves into destruction?" Al-Bara'a said: "No, the destruction is that man sins and says: there is no accepted repentance to my sin".Also, it has been reported that Abu Ayyub Al Ansari and Abu Musa Al Ash'aree didn't disapprove if someone fights alone an entire army fearlessly till he dies.))
((A man from among the Ansar broke enemy (Byzantine) lines in Constantinople (Istanbul). Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari was with us then. So some people said, 'He is throwing himself to destruction.' Abu Ayyub said, 'We know this Ayah (2:195) better, for it was revealed about us, the Companions of Allah's Messenger who participated in Jihad with him and aided and supported him. When Islam became strong, we, the Ansar, met and said to each other, 'Allah has honored us by being the Companions of His Prophet and in supporting him until Islam became victorious and its following increased. We had before ignored the needs of our families, estates and children. Warfare has ceased, so let us go back to our families and children and attend to them.' So this Ayah was revealed about us.))
In other sources:
((The story of Al Baraa Ibn Malik is well known when Musaylamah and thousands of his men entered and closed the gates behind them and fortified themselves in this garden, so Baraa said to his friends: "Put me on a shield. Raise the shield on spears and hurl me into the garden near the gate. Either I shall die a martyr or I shall open the gate for you." He descended on them like a thunderbolt and continued to fight them in front of the gate. Many fell to his sword and he himself sustained numerous wounds before he could open the gate))
(( Also the words of the young boy who couldn't be killed by the king so the young boy said to the king: 'You cannot kill me until you do what I command you to do.' The king asked, 'What is that?' He said, 'Gather all people in one place and tie me up to the trunk of a tree, then take an arrow from my quiver and say: With the Name of Allah, the Rubb of the boy; then shoot me. If you do that you will be able to kill me.' The king called the people in an open field and tied the young boy to the trunk of a tree. He took out an arrow from his quiver, fixed in the bow and said, 'With the Name of Allah, the Rubb of the young boy,' he then shot the arrow and it hit the boy's temple. The young boy placed his hand upon the temple where the arrow had hit him and died. The people then said: 'We believe in the Rubb of this young boy.'))
This boy gave a clue to the king to be able to kill him, and after the king carried it out, the great goal, which the boy aimed at was achieved; all people embraced Islam upon hearing of the boy's death, and witnessing the Karamah (events which break the laws of the universe) granted to him by Almighty Allah.
Buying the Hereafter with the worldly life entails winning them both:
A senior official in the Pentagon said: "What can we do with our aircraft carriers? What can we do with our intercontinental ballistic missiles? Is there any country on earth dares to fight us? The question is, what can we do
against a who seeks death to shake our existence? In fact, nothing!((Those who are in the first rows of battle and do not turn their face till they are killed. They will roam around the highest rooms in Jannah and their Lord will laugh with joy at them[This is an indication that, when Allah laughs at somebody, there is no accounting of his deeds on the day of Judgment].))
((Mudrik ibn 'Awf al-Ahmasi said, "I was in the presence of 'Umar when the messenger of Nu'man ibn Muqrin came to him and 'Umar asked him about the people, whereupon he replied, "So-and-so and so-and-so were hit, and sh3er and sh3er whom I do not know." 'Umar said, "But Allah knows them." [The messenger] said, "O chief of the believers! [There was] a man who sold his life." At this Mudrik said, "That is my maternal uncle, by Allah, O chief of the believers! People claimed he has contributed to his own destruction." 'Umar said, "They have lied (or: are mistaken). Rather, he is among those who have bought the Hereafter with this world.))
((Those who break through the ranks of enemy are dignifying Islam and seeking Shahadah (being Martyr) which entails an everlasting life in Paradise, so how come they are accused of casting themselves into destruction? Then he said: "It is fine for a fighter to break through the ranks of enemy alone even though he knew he will be killed in case he was intending to make a difference in the battle even if he was killed, wounded or defeated in that cause, for some companions did that when the Prophet, may Allah have peace and blessings upon him, was alive on the day of Uhud and they were praised by the Prophet for that. Also people said to Abu Huraira: Did not you observe Sa'd Ibn Hisham when the two parties met in combat, for he faced them and attacked them, and broke through the ranks, then returned, and by such he cast himself into destruction, but Abu Huraira said: "No" and he reauthord the verse (meaning), "Among mankind is he who sells himself seeking the pleasure of Allah."))
((Al Hafez Ibn Hajar answered a question about the case of a man who might attack a lot of the enemy's fighters alone out of boldness in order to terrorize the enemy, to encourage Muslims and for other good intentions, and he approved it. However, if this act was out of recklessness, it is forbidden especially if weakens Muslims))
Getting rid of enemies' plot lies in forbearing and piety:
This Ummah is plotted against by its enemies using plans which may remove mountains from their places. They are planning to impoverish, misguide, corrupt, humiliate and exterminate this Ummah, Allah says:
(( Indeed, they planned their plot, and their plot was with Allah, though their plot was a great (one, still) it would never be able to remove the mountains (real mountains or the Islamic law) from their places (as it is of no importance) [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Vol. 2, Page 597]. [It is said by some interpreters regarding this Verse that the Quraish pagans plotted against Prophet Muhammad to kill him but they failed and were unable to carry out their plot which they plotted]. ))
However, Allah the Almighty tells us how we can be saved from their plot which removes mountains from their places, Allah says:
(( But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqun (the pious), not the least harm will their cunning do to you. ))
The following Ayah has An indication and a glad tiding for believers:
Here is another Ayah which represents a healing for the hearts:(( Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). ))
This Ayah contains good news; it gives an indication and a glad tiding to believers. It indicates that there is an end to every affliction no matter how long it lasts, there is the awaited dawn inside darkness, there is a triumph alongside patience, there is relief hand-in-hand with grief, every adversity is pregnant with the relief and the solution to difficulties. All the crises we, Muslims, are suffering from can be solved properly as long as there are a good engineer, an expert doctor and a passionate mother, and upon Allah is the responsibility to explain the Straight Path.
This Ayah raises spirits. Furthermore, the companions believes that the repetition it has is a confirmation that Allah's promises will be fulfilled in making the situation of Muslims better.
(( So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). ))
Ibn Mas'ood said: "If hardship entered the hole of a lizard, ease would enter with it and remove it." Some linguists of Arabic language said that "Usr" (Hardship) is definite (By using the Arabic prefix Al), whereas Yusr (relief) is indefinite, so if the definite word is repeated, its meaning does not change, whereas the meaning of the indefinite word changes if it is repeated. Their argument is supported by the statement of Ibn Abbas: "One hardship cannot overcome two reliefs."
(( Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). ))
The great indication this Ayah contains is that "relief lies within the hardship". Relief and hardship never occur simultaneously; the former comes after the latter, but in the abovementioned Ayah Almighty Allah wants to relieve those in hardships by indicating in advance that hardship is almost over by His decree.
Adopting the culture of defeatism is the foremost problem of Muslims:
Dear brother, nowadays we are in dire need to see a good omen in this Ayah, because Muslims are witnessing how other Muslims are frustrated, defeated, oppressed and embittered. These events affect Muslims negatively as pessimism and despair have prevailed among them and caused most of them to become helpless and passive towards the different conditions and situations. Moreover, this situation brought about adopting ideas which belong to the culture of "deadlock". This kind of culture is fruitless.
(( So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). ))
This culture is manifested in the constant complain of almost everything, of friends' abandonment, of enemies' conspiracies, of fathers and grandfathers' legacy and of the children and grandchildren's misbehavior! Those quitters who adopt the culture of "deadlock" point fingers of blame outward thinking that they are perfect and the sh3er are to be blamed for all their hardship! They pay the efforts to undermine the enthusiasm of those who try to change the situation for the better by telling them that "The sh3er will not let you teach, will not let you educate and will not let you excel". These kinds of statements lead to idleness and inactivity. Verify the culture of "deadlock" and the one of defeatism represent the foremost problem of Muslims.
Allah allows those who long for Paradise to pay Its price:
Dear brother, I am still addressing the people of Gaza, the people of dignity and esteem:
(( Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.))
O people of Gaza, when you longed for Paradise and sought It, Allah decreed that you may pay the price for It, Allah says:
(( Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the Help of Allah?" Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near! ))
When Allah chooses a believer to be a martyr in His Divine neighborhood, this person will be achieving one of the two best things, Allah says:
(( Say: "Do you wait for us (anything) except one of the two best things (martyrdom or victory); while we await for you either that Allah will afflict you with a punishment from Himself or at our hands. So wait, we too are waiting with you." ))
Dying in the Cause of Allah is the utmost triumph:
O people of Gaza, people of honor, I would like to tell the relatives of those who have been honored by becoming martyrs the following story:
When Al Izz Ibn Abdus Salam issued Fatwa [his Islamic legal opinion] that princes of Mamaleek should be sold in the market of slaves in Egypt and their prices would be deposited in the Muslims' Treasury House, the Mamaleek refused to adhere to the legal opinion of his, and they made up their minds to kill him. They headed to his house with their unsheathed swords and knocked on his door, so when his son Abul Lateef opened the, he was frightened upon seeing them, and he went back to his father and said: "O father, run for your life, death is coming to you". Al Izz asked: "What is the matter?", and his son told him. Al Izz responded by saying to his son: "O son, your father is so too small to be killed in the Cause of Allah." He meant that he wished that had happened, but he considered himself less than those who deserved such position.
Never consider a martyr a dead person:
(( Think not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision. ))
Have you heard anyone of them blaspheming? Never. One of Gaza's people lost seven of his children, but he kept saying, "Alhamdulellah (thank Allah), Alhamdulellah, Alhamdulellah, Hasbuna Allah Wa Ni'mal Wakeel (Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us))". This is amazing.
Asking sincerely for martyrdom:
Dear brother, Izz said: "O son, your father doesn't deserve to be killed in the Cause of Allah". Then he rushed out to the princes who were petrified upon seeing him, their blood froze in their veins and they panic to such an extent that they dropped their swords, and their faces turned pale. This story has a great end, so I recommend that you read it. He, who fears Allah, is feared by everything.
There are thousands and thousands of true believers who wish to be in Gaza and to be honored with Shahadah (dying in the Cause of Allah), so let me mention the following Hadith for those who asks for martyrdom sincerely, 
the Prophet, may Allah have peace and blessings upon him, said:
((Whoever asks Allah sincerely for martyrdom [Allahumma inni as'aluk ash-shahadah], Allah will cause him to reach the status of the martyrs even if he dies in his bed.))
If they weren't able to have the honor of being knights in the day with people of Gaza, let them be knights in the night by invoking their Lord to grant victory to their brother in Gaza.
I ask you including myself to offer two Ruka'ats in the middle of the night, and to invoke Allah with a yearning heart saying: "O Lord, grant victory to our brother in Gaza, and decree for the destruction of their enemies by their own plot and make all their plans backfire on them." The Prophet, may Allah have peace and blessings upon him, said in a long Hadith about the kinds of supplications:
((The supplication which gets the quickest answer is that made by one distant Muslim for another.))
((Whoever helps in the preparation of one who fights in the way of Allah has also participated in this fighting.))
Since you were not be able to be in Gaza, which could be impossible, at least help in the preparation of a fighter. I am sure that there are trustful ways through which your contributions can be transferred to people over there.
((Whoever stays behind to take good care of the family of the one who leaves to fight [in the way of Allah] has also participated in this fighting.))
There is another way to help them; if the family of a university student is in Gaza and they cannot send him money, give him money:
((whoever stays behind to take good care of the family of the one who leaves to fight [in the way of Allah] has also participated in this fighting.))
Those who didn't support their fellow Muslims will be demised and tortured:
I would like to read the following Ayah to those who keep silent, sitting in their houses and conspiring against Gaza's people:
(( They said: "O Musa (Moses)! We shall never enter it as long as they are there. So go you and your Lord and fight you two, we are sitting right here." ))
(( (They are) the ones who said about their killed brethren while they themselves sat (at home): "If only they had listened to us, they would not have been killed." Say: "Avert death from your ownselves, if you speak the truth." ))
Whoever sheds a drop of blood on earth will be responsible for it on the Day of Resurrection:
(( Think not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision* They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His Bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve* They rejoice in a Grace and a Bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers. ))
(( Those who answered (the Call of) Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad) after being wounded; for those of them who did good deeds and feared Allah, there is a great reward* Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the people (hypocrites) said, "Verily, the people (pagans) have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them." But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: "Allah (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)."))
By Allah, Who has no partner, By Allah, Who has no partner, By Allah, Who has no partner, whoever caused and will cause the shedding of even one drop of blood since Adam till the Day of Resurrection will be responsible for it on the Day of Resurrection:
(( "Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?" ))
(( Does man think that he will be left Suda [neglected without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord (Allah) on him]? ))
Save the person who was executed by applying Hadd (The penal laws of Islam) on him, for Allah is responsible for his blood.
Muslims nowadays are afflicted with the hardest affliction ever:
Dear brother, what is happening nowadays is the toughest test which believers are afflicted with. It is represented by the fact that Allah makes the tyrants powerful in order to turn their words into action. Thus, they kill people and destruct houses, and simply they show up on TV talking about democracy, freedom, defensive attacks and adopting human rights. By their crimes, they bash people, trees and animals till those whose faith is weak say: Where is Allah?
This is the most difficult test; Allah gives power to the tyrants so they slaughter, bomb, destruct, oppress and talk arrogantly about nonsense. The test is very tough, so those of weak faith will say: Where is Allah? However, afterwards, Allah will reveal His Might (over tyrants) till the oppressors say: There is no god but Allah Alone Who has the right to be worshipped. What did Fir'aun say when he was about to drown?
(( And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with his hosts followed them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that La ilaha illa (Huwa): (none has the right to be worshipped but) He," in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allah's Will)." ))
He said those words, but it was too late. This is the tough test; Allah gives power to the tyrants so they slaughter, bomb, destruct, oppress, transgress, and then they talk about freedom, democracy and human rights. They shoot
children in their chests in cold blood, they kill women and they destruct houses:
(( And when the female (infant) buried alive (as the pagan Arabs used to do) shall be questioned. For what sin she was killed? ))
Among the signs of the End of the World is that people will be killed in great numbers as the plague that afflicts sheep, so that the one who kills does not know why he killed, and the one killed does not know why he was killed. During that period the heart of the believer melts upon witnessing the harshness of bloody events, but he cannot do anything. If he talks about these things, he will be killed and if he keeps silent, he will be considered a lawful target to be transgressed. Afterwards Allah reveals His Might over tyrants till they say: There is no god but Allah Alone Who has the right to be worshipped. This is a very tough test, so I ask Allah to grant you solidity.
The supplication:
O Lord, your enemies and our enemies say what 'Ad said before: "Who is mightier than us in strength?". They are bombing with cluster bombs, phosphoric bombs and other new weapons which are used for the first time against weak people, unarmed civilians, young children and women.
O Lord, their arrogance made them forget how mightier than them You are, so pour on them different kinds of severe torment, for You are The Ever Watchful (over them). O Allah, we ask you by the tears and cry of children, by the sacrifices and piety of the youth, by the heroism of young women, by the piety and heedfulness of msh3er and by the supplication and Ruk'u (the bowing performed during salat) of the old men to grant victory to our brother in Gaza over their and Your enemy, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, make by Your decree their destruction by their plot and let their plans backfire on them, for You are The Just and The Most Generous.
O Allah, we beseech You by those who ask for Your aid, by those who ask for Your shelter, by those who ask for Your help, by the Tasbeeh (laudation) of those who keep remembering You, by the Hamd (praise) of those who praise You, by the Tahlil (Uttering the formula of faith: "La ilaha illa Allah", i.e. (No god but Allah). ) of those who do it, by the Takbeer (a proclamation of the greatness of Allah; a Muslim invocation.) and by the hopes of those who are full of hope, not to abandon us O Lord of the worlds, not to leave us to our ownselves not even for a blink of eye or less than that, and make better all our affairs, for You are The Most Generous. O Allah, You say:
(( and (as for) the believers it was incumbent upon Us to help (them). ))
If we don't deserve Your victory because You are Just, then grant it for us out of Your Mercy, and if we don't deserve Your victory because we are not up to it, then grant if for us out of Your Divine favor. O Allah, help us support our brother in Palestine, and ward off the plot of conspirators sooner, not later in any way you decree O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, You say:
(( (Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you ))
Here we are seeking Your help, so grant it to us. We invoke You by our true belief in You, by our pure worship to You, by our lack of means to answer our supplication sooner, not later O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, You say:
(( Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands ))
O Allah, show us Your Might in torturing them, in demising them and in destructing them O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, You say:
(( (They were reprieved) until, when the Messengers gave up hope and thought that they were denied (by their people), then came to them Our Help ))
We put our trust in You to grant us victory and support, so we beseech You with that trust to grant us victory over our enemies, for You are The Generous. O Allah, we ask You to restrain the evil might of the disbelievers, for You are Stronger in Might and Stronger in punishing. O Allah, make us do well in the religion which is our dignity, make our lives good for it is our living and make us safe on the Day of Judgment for it is our final destination. O Allah, make life our supply for all good things, and make death a rest from every evil our Master the Lord of all worlds.
O Allah, make us prefer everything You have made lawful to everything You have made unlawful, let Your Mercy make us independent of all sh3er and make us obedient to You and turn us away from disobedience. O Allah, let us not be oblivious to Your planning, do not deprive us of Your shield and do not make us forget Your remembrance. O Allah! by Your Mercy and Benevolence, raise high the word of truth and this Deen, grant triumph to Islam, dignify Muslims, humiliate polytheism and polytheists and lead the rulers of Muslims to what pleases You, O Lord of the worlds, as You are the only One Who is capable over His decreed.
